11. Internships.

As a homework for an English class I've read two texts about non-paid internships. I am agree with the author of first text Anya Kamenetz who thinks that internships, especially when they are unpaid, are not good for students. First of all, I'm agree with her opinion that unpaid internship isn't really a job, only simulation. As she writes, there is't strong connection between well-paid job and internship. In my opinion, work should be paid. Secondly, I think that if students work as qualified workers, they should receive salary. It's a kind of discrimination when students work without salary despite the fact that they do a lot of things which are useful for company when they work. And unpaid internship is possible only for students' which families have enough money to pay for education. In the second text Jennifer Halperin reflect the views of students who liked unpaid internships. But Anya Kamenetz writes that students, who take part in unpaid internships like their work more than people, who receive salary for their work. And there's an empirical  observation that people who accept to do something like unpaid internships(something not very easy and without any reward) more than people who decline it.
So I think that unpaid internships are not good for students.

10. Globalization.

Today I was on football match "Spartak Moscow" - "Barcelona", which was in the biggest Russian stadium "Luzhniki". It so happened that I met an Italian, who sat(or rather stood) near me . An Italian! In Russia! On football match which is between Russian and Spanish teams!!! What is it? Globalization...

Today world is a global village. It isn't too hard to socialize with a person from another country who lives far away. And it becomes easier to meet a foreign man or woman in Russia. And every year percent of people who go to another city or country because of different reasons grows. Different cultures mixes, you can find people from different countries, who speak different language at one place. But globalization isn't migration, it's international cultural, political and economical integration. Migration like standardization of different processes is a result of globalization. Other results of this process are, for example, global division of labor and global specialization. Globalization makes every country dependent on others.

Some people think that globalization is good, others think that it is bad. There are groups of people which are known as "anti-globalists" who doesn't like globalization and thinks that it's very harmful process. I think that globalization is essential part of world development. It's normal process and we should use it. For example, now it's possible for a lot of people to go to other cities or countries in order to study or work.Or just see football matches with teams from other countries or continents.

9.Russia and the USA :differencies.

Somewhere I've read such phrase: "Americans are strange, because they don't know who will be their next president." Of course, this phrase belongs to Russian author. There are a lot of differences between these two countries. 

Politics: the USA is democratic country, and there is no real democracy in Russia. No freedom of the press, no freedom of the TV. The "Law about rallies", "Black list of sites, which contain illegal content" and others strong circumscribe freedom of people, freedom of speech. And everybody knew before the elections that Vladimir Putin would be the next president. The next thing is corruption. There is a little corruption in the USA and a lot of corruption in Russia. The USA is 22nd in the Corruption Perceptions Index and Russia is only 154th(from 178). Markets in the USA are more liberal than in Russia. It's hard to start your own business in Russia because of different barriers and corruption. The sector of underground economy in Russia is much bigger than in the USA.  If we compare GDP of Russia and the USA, GDP of the USA is about 15,2 trillion dollars and Russia's GDP is between 2,2-2,4 trillion dollars. Another difference is that the capital of the USA is Washington, the financial center is New York, the scientific center is Los-Angeles. Education, in Russia Moscow is both political, scientific and financial center. Despite the fact that American system of education is the best in the world and Russian is worse than American and European, high education in the USA is paid and in Russia everyone has a chance to have one free high education. Traditions. Of course, traditions in Russia are completely different with traditions in USA. For example, Christmas is more important than New Year in the USA but New Year is more important than Christmas.

I considered only a number of differences between Russia and the USA. Of course, there are a lot of differences but I concentrated only on several things that are most noticeable, in my opinion.

8. Football time

In this time it was hard for me to find a topic of my blog. I decided that I would write about football in the second time, because now I'm waiting the time when today's UEFA Champions League matches will start. 

Some minutes later Real Madrid will play with Borussia Dortmund. Real, as I have written, is one of my favorite teams, my favorite European football team. Last game was unhappy for 'los galacticos', they were beaten by Dortmund's team. I hope that today CriRo&Co will win. One of problems is that striker Karim Benzema can't play because he injured. But Higuain was in good conditions last games, so he could surprise us by beautiful goal as he did two or three weeks ago. I hope that CriRo7 will find his game today. It will be very interesting game, because the winner of it will qualify in next round with very high probability.

And tomorrow I will see game Spartak Moscow vs Benfica. Spartak should win or tie in order to have chances to qualify to the next round. There are problems with strikers(Emenike and Welliton can't play) and goalkeepers(first and second keepers are injuried, third keeper Artem Rebrov will be the Spartak's guardian). But I hope that Spartak will play very well and win this very hard game, which could be the most important game of this autumn.
